Tanjiro is affectionate and supportive, while Kanao is quieter and more reserved. Kanao is much more comfortable expressing her feelings around Tanjiro.

Zenitsu is still dramatically affectionate, but adulthood has made him less over-the-top about it. Nezuko is one of the few people who can instantly calm him down.

Their relationship is very mature and quiet compared with the younger couples. 💕 Tengen's relationship 🎇 Tengen Uzui × Hinatsuru × Makio × Suma Since this AU keeps Tengen's existing relationships, his three wives remain his partners. Tengen: 198 cm / 6'6" Hinatsuru: ~170 cm / 5'7" Makio: ~167 cm / 5'6" Suma: ~160 cm / 5'3" Their relationship is openly affectionate and playful. Tengen is still the extremely dramatic center of attention, while the three women have very different personalities and balance him out. 🧩 One important AU detail The funniest part is that none of the former demons realize who they used to be. Hakuji can meet Shinobu and think: "She's strangely familiar." Shinobu might look at Hakuji and think: "Have we met before?" Neither understands why. Meanwhile, Michikatsu remembers Yoriichi, because that's part of his human life. Their relationship can finally develop without the demon era ever existing. And Hakuji remembers Koyuki, meaning their relationship can continue normally instead of ending tragically. That makes the AU less of a "redemption" story and more of a second chance at life story.
